In a game that spanned five days, used a combined nine pitchers, and saw the lead tie or change seven times, the Deltaville Deltas saw their season come to an end on the final pitch of their quarterfinal matchup.
The Richmond Trash Pandas used back-to-back singles to earn a walk-off win in the 11th inning, defeating the Deltas 6-5 and eliminating them from the Richmond NABA (National Adult Baseball Association) playoffs.
The game began on Sunday, Aug. 2, and saw Deltas starting pitcher Matt Kleinfelter lock into a scoreless pitchers duel with Richmond’s Traylor DuVal. After three innings, the game was scoreless when severe storms swept through Richmond forcing the suspension of the game. Further storms and field conditions delayed the resumption of the game over successive nights, but the game was finally able to resume on Thursday night, with just six regulation innings remaining in the 0-0 ballgame.
